Rethinking Microfracture Surgery in Modern Orthopaedics: Perspectives for Cartilage RepairDiscover the ongoing debate surrounding microfracture surgery as a technique for cartilage repair in orthopaedic medicine. As advanced methodologies emerge, such as Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) and Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI), the relevance of microfracture comes under scrutiny. Although it may still be appropriate for patients with small cartilage…Discover the ongoing debate surrounding microfracture surgery as a technique for cartilage repair in orthopaedic medicine. As advanced methodologies emerge, such as Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) and Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI), the relevance of microfracture comes under scrutiny. Although it may still be appropriate for patients with small cartilage defects, concerns over long-term efficacy and durability limit its applicability. With rapid advancements in regenerative medicine, stem cell therapies and scaffold-based approaches offer promising alternatives. Ultimately, patient-specific factors should guide the decision-making process, and ongoing research is necessary to define microfracture's role in modern orthopaedic surgery.
